Imagine you have a box that’s completely empty. Now, imagine the whole universe is just like that, not filled with stuff like stars and planets, but made of nothing. That sounds strange, right? But scientists think maybe the world we live in started from something as simple as empty space, or even nothing at all! You don’t need to have a lot of things to make everything happen. Sometimes, less is more.
Examples
- Imagine your empty backpack is the universe, just because it’s full of air doesn’t mean it has stuff in it.
- You don’t need to fill up a jar with sand for something to happen, sometimes, even empty space can make things move.
- Your mom can clean a room by taking everything out, and that's kind of like creating something from nothingness.
